Modified rankin scale is a reliable tool for the rapid assessment of stroke severity and predicting disability outcomes.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: 'Time is brain' goes the adage. Rapid and precise management of stroke is of the utmost essence. The modified National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (mNIHSS) and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) predict stroke severity and functional disability outcomes. However, the mRS can be administered more rapidly than the mNIHSS and therefore might be better to assess patient outcomes. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess the correlation of stroke severity on admission and functional disability outcomes on the day of discharge or on the 8 Materials and Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional study with a sample size of 61 participants. The mNIHSS score was calculated on admission for patients with clinical features suggestive of stroke and mRS was calculated on the 8 Results: Correlation between mNIHSS and mRS was positive and statistically significant (rho = 0.866, 95% CI [0.751, 0.925]. For each point increase in the mNIHSS, the odds of having higher mRS scores are 153% more than the odds of having lower mRS scores (aOR = 2.534, 95% CI [1.904, 3.560]). Conclusion: Our study concluded that mRS can be reliably used to predict the functional outcomes for patients with stroke in circumstances where the mNIHSS may prove to be lengthy. Thus, where 'time is brain', the mRS can be used with a similar power to predict the outcome.
